My Life has Changed – well just a bit!

It doesn’t take much to change my life! But everything seems to have gone mono coloured compared to this nifty little tool. Sandra called it a ‘must have tool’ and it certainly is.

I managed to get this Conair hair braider off ebay and it really is the greatest thing for a weaver. I spend hours and hours doing twisted fringes on all my work and this little gadget will make the task alot easier.

It really isn’t actually a braider – this is a misnomer even for hair enthusiasts. It is a cord twister. Very nifty. See Sandra’s blog for how to use it.

Tomorrow I’m doing a presentation called ‘Threads of Passion’ to Fine Arts students at Great Lakes Campus of TAFE. The words passion and threads just go so well together, don’t you think?

  2. I read that on her blog, thought “I have to get one of those,” and then promptly forgot about it. I’ve just added it to my list of “must gets!” I hope your presentation goes well!

  3. Hi there
    I too discovered the braider, made by Babyliss, and have had to buy on Ebay recently because they are not made any longer. It certainly has been a blessing, saving so much time when twisting those fringes.
    All the Best

    You inspired me to go on Ebay and purchase the twister, I had heard about using them as a fringe twister in the past and thought it couldn’t possible work well. You changed my mind – I can hardly wait for the little magic twister to arrive in the mail. Your website/blog is interesting I enjoy reading your thoughts about weaving. Thanks
